During his monologue at the 95th Academy Awards, Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Hollywood's widespread use of the drug Ozempic. The medication, originally designed to treat diabetes, has become a popular solution for weight loss among celebrities and reality TV stars. Kimmel joked about the significant weight loss noticeable in the room, wondering whether Ozempic would be right for him. However, he refrained from mentioning any specific celebrities who may have used the drug.
While some celebrities, such as Golnesa Gharachedaghi, have openly discussed their use of Ozempic, most have either denied or ignored accusations. Kyle Richards, a star on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has repeatedly denied using the drug to lose weight, stating that she achieved her slimmer figure through two hours of daily exercise and a healthy diet. Richards expressed frustration at being accused of using Ozempic, given that she had never even heard of the medication until the allegations surfaced.
The controversy surrounding Ozempic's use as a weight-loss tool has sparked conversations about the importance of responsible and healthy weight-loss practices. The drug's popularity among celebrities has also drawn attention to the impact that Hollywood can have on society's attitudes toward body image and health.
